How do I include which custom fields labels are which custom field values in my Constant Contact Account?
-
You can add this to your active theme or custom plugin:
add_filter( 'constant_contact_include_custom_field_label', '__return_true' );. Note: custom fields have a max length of 50 characters. Including the labels will subtract from the 50 character total available. -
Which account level access is needed to connect my WordPress account to Constant Contact?
-
You will need to make the connection to Constant Contact using the credentials of the account owner. Campaign manager credentials will not have enough access.

Error: Please select at least one list to subscribe to.

Some users are experiencing errors when upgrading from an older version of the plugin. If you are receiving an error “Please select at least one list to subscribe to” on your form submissions we recommend “Sync Lists with Constant Contact”, this can be found in your admin dashboard Contact Form > Lists. If problem still persists we recommend recreating the form from scratch.

The simplest possible function, user provides email, it submits to Constant Contact and user is added to specified list; just doesn't work.
I've read through multiple threads that have the same 'Must select list' error warning upon submission, tried every trouble shooting step and fix a half dozen times each. Deactivated, deleted, started over completely and still the same error.
Shame really because you do always want these plugins coming directly from the service provider as you assume they'd be the ones building it properly.

I'm writing a review to push users to the solution that worked for us.
After the plugin we were using stopped working, I started hunting around for other options and figured I'd try Constant Contact's solution, thinking it would be the most reliable. Well, I kind of got it to work, but there's no control over the form and everything looks hideous like it was designed by a monkey. After trying to customize it for about an hour I just gave up and uninstalled it.
We use gravity forms on our site, and they just so happen to have an add-on for Constant Contact. It gives you foolproof instructions to connect to the CC API and from there you have full control of how you want it to look. I was able to set it up and the form and button nicely matches everything else on our site. If you want an easy solution that works, I'd suggest checking it out.

It connects fairly well - and has a reasonable feature set, but with 50 lists across 16 websites and installing this plugin on most of them, I have come across the following shortfalls that is requiring us to find another compatible plugin that will record data into CC:
* Fields are extremely limited - can't add anything but some generic first/last/phone/email and custom text field, but no dropdowns, selections, checkboxes, etc.
* Address field hardcodes State/Zip into fields - as a Canadian company, we are forced to leave this here even though we'd love a toggle for Province/Postal Code, and I am sure other countries would agree.
* Output limits how much flexibility you have to design - basically just forced to go down in a vertical single line form unless you seriously hack out some bad-syntax css rules to add columns.
* No ability to customize the 'agreement' disclaimer at the bottom - we want it to be unique to each website, not just the same generic one for the main CC account.
* I am personally ok with the bare visuals as it is really easy to override all the elements to design the form how you want, but could see why some users may find it too basic who don't have much html/css knowledge.

It's functional but if your website is well designed I can guarantee you this form will be the ugliest thing on the page. It's embarrassing. It's like forms from 1999. Literally. UGLY!
Come on CC. Get with the times and spend some $$ on better UX and design. Shameful 🙁

You're totally on your own with this thing.
The form function uses shortcodes but ConstantContact support says it doesn't use shortcodes. Look for guidance from ConstantContact and you probably won't find it.
The more I attempt work with ConstantContact the more I am perplexed as to how they remain in business. There are a few with a helpful attitude but the structure does not match reality.

This would be a much better tool if they didn't try to rigidly style the forms. We've spent many days trying to massage the output to fit our site. It's leading us to reconsider Constant Contact (after a decade with them).
